Huge ammount of space created on the disk #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Don't even know if it's related to this, Dokan or something else. But after 
using this program for a while my SSD has lost a lot of space that I can't find 
in any windows files(about 40 GB) and I figured it might have something to do 
with the virtual drive created by lawena not getting deleted properly, could 
this be related and if so, is there a fix?

This can happen if the drive isn't mounted/not mounted properly/you write the 
wrong output directory for outputting frames. In either case, the game writes 
out the TGA files to disk instead of to the virtual drive. You should be able 
to tell this is happening by verifying that SrcDemo2 is not receiving any frame 
in the status tab.
I expect you'll find the TGA files somewhere in your game files, or wherever 
you set the game or lawena to write the TGA files. (Make sure SrcDemo2 is 
unmounted when you check this.)

If that's not the case, I suggest using a program like WinDirStat to determine 
what's using all the lost space.

Thanks, this was not related at all, just a bunch of system restore points.
